On Thursday, Sintim tweeted photos of rings that appeared to commemorate the Giants' Super Bowl XLVI win over the New England Patriots, noting that the shots were a "sneak preview!"

The three-year veteran from the University of Virginia later removed the tweet and wrote, "Saw the ring online not official yet ... official release will be presented by Giants organization ... Sorry."

Giants defensive end Justin Tuck said the design was still a work in progress. Asked to verify the authenticity of the ring Sintim tweeted, Giants vice president of communications Pat Hanlon said he was unsure if the team's jewelry had been finished.
